WHO H TUT MAIL The citizens, of this county aro aware that appeals aro made, ly the party in power, to the lowest passions of rile- men to secure their votes. The'discussion of the questions at Issue is abandoned, and the arguments of Opponent are generally answered by the simplo phrase "That is a lie," . or, "h is a liar," accompanied usually by some blasphemous adjective that shows that profanity is also a part of the argument. In general all who oppose free whisky, and the unlimited extension of slavery, come in for n share of such arguments. By virtue of our place, as editor of an indepenpent paper that has not feared to hold up the real workings of whisky and slavery, we have received a full share of such abuse. Pick up the whisky organ when you nay,

and, in some half dosen placet. Goodwin is published a liar. Listen to a tump harranjue from one of the faithful, and Goodwin is proclaimed a liar. Stop a moment at one of the hundredjrourder holes of this county, where candidates' niAy U guzzled, and Goodwin is declared a liar, by the drunken rabble. To this ii added by some stamp speakers, and Rome barroom politicians that he ii also, n regular dram drinker- a minature drunkard. It is 'even said, that he took his guests, during the session of Conference last fall, to a neighboring doggery and treated them to intoxicating liquor the madness and folly of the ' drunken candidates, and their drunken allies, not allowing them to tell even plausible falsehoods. We have already shown how sig

nally they were foiled into an attempt

to prove us a liar in tho case of the death of a Miss Jones. They suc

ceeded In getting 820 from us, but

the admissions of the outraged father, confirmed every essential circumstance.

while we acknowledged to a "mistaken stato of facts," which was satis

factory to the court, and all it asked,

except the 820. Yet there are un

icrupulous men who proclaim, in the

Oiceof the well known facts, that we aitrned a libel. Such men would

o steal. Ther aro even worse than

horse-thieves, and meaner than sheep

thieves. They are equalled in moral

delinquency only by their accomplices,

the liquor sellers. They are the ba-

est of men yet the yjnre the acknowledgs edlcaders ofwhat islcft of the once re

spectable Democratic paty. They

are worthy leaders of such men as

now constitute a majority of that par

ty In this county. In reference to them we ask who are the liars? Intelligent,

and honest men will cai ily answer the

question. But a new discovery has been made

and we arc now proved a liar beyond ques'ion! We published last week

the following note: The appointments f.r Mr. Bri?l

and J. L. Itobinson at Vernailes,

Manchester, Brookvil.e, Liberty, Con

nersTül and Cambridge city, are withdrawn. This will save those gen

tlemen a good deal of useless toil and

trouble.

But Bright and Robinson were here

according to appointment, and now

the liquorites are rejoicing exceeding

ly that we are eaught in a lio and ean

not help ourself. Hon? J. Lardoil

Robinson even alluded to it in his speech And his catching us in a lie, was received with marked applause, and all the little lardoil drinker, have echoed it ever since. Truly our case Is a lamentable one. We confess that the above is a lie, but who is the liar? that is the question. The Indiana Sentinel, of week before last contained the following note:

RcsnviLLC, la.. Aug. 23, 1031. Eoitcrs Skstixel: Pleaso to say in the Sentinel, that the appointments for Mr. Bright nnd myself, at Versailles. Manchester, Drookville. Liberty, Conncrsville nnd Cambridgc.nro withdrawn, owint? to other and prior engagements f Mr. Bright. We will however visit all of those point before the election ; some of them perhaps that week, but 1 cannot now furnish tha programme Tours truly, JOHN L. KOBINSON. TI Lavreneelurgh 7J7Vcr,copied it as a veritable letter, and wo received our information through the Register, the Sentinel containing it not having been received. .. We confess to having published a

falsehood. It is not the first time however that we have been misled by

believing others. But, in this case,

we confess that there in not sufficient

justification. We ought not to have

put confidence in anything so noto

rious a liar as J. L. Robinson could

say. We did indeed think that, for

once, he might tell the truth, but we were deceived and led into error by - him. Henceforth we will disbelieve every thing ho says, and we advise all

men who respect their reputation to

never make an assertion on his credit wt - l it-

hint now, under oath, particularly

since he had the dishonesty to charge

the lie upon us, simply becauso wo

had plaeed confidence enough in Lim

to believe that when he laid (he ap

pointracnts were withdrawn,-he meant what ho said. We again a.k, who s tho liar? Wo fear not the verdict of honest men. Such fellow citizen?, nre the men who would male von believe that slavery cannot go into Kansas, nnd that a prohibitory law is unconstitutional. Such are the men who are charging honest won with falsehood, merely to screen their " guilty heads from the storm ofJad'gnalion that an outraged people arc gathering for them. Such arc the minions of power who wish to

When men who profess to be freemen, and who have minds capable of thinking for themselves, refuse to form an opinion on h new question, until they learn whether it u a Whig or Democratic measure, we think they are lit subjects to be yoked, by party taik masters, and driven to do the lowest and mranest of parly drudgery.

to the "high-minded, honorubl; old

his opinion at least, means tv support of the measures of tho present pro-

fl-ArrRomiATE. Wo thinkit not

inappropriate that Ministers of the

law, or epposu a law that extends the

area of human slavery, butjit is not

more appropriate than J. I). Bright, a

princely nave-holder, nnd J. L. Rob

inson, an official slive catcher, should

travel and advocatu tho opening of the

rich lands of Kansas to slavery. Let

each have fair piny. Tho ministers

expect to dry up the fountain of vice

and prepare the way forposhjvo good

by banishing intemperauoe; and tokcep out unacknowledged evil, by hedging

up the march of slavery. Slave-holders and slave-catchers expect to remoyo a barrier that puts bounds to their profits nnd pursuits by advocating tho njw doctrine that slavery has a right to go v try iy here. i is appropriate-that such men ns Bright and Robinson should attempt,' to convinco th people of Indiana that slavery is a blessing andahould be allowed lo go wherever freemen would 'iko to go. -They aro interested in the question and can afford to advocato it.

not the question, ir, but who can depose the Democratic parly that is the question. Hon. J. D. Bright said,

last Friday, that tho Whigs could not

that the Free Soilcrs could not

that both united could not. "I tell you" said he, "if we nre put out of power in Indiana, it must be by Democrats, who prove unfaithful," Wc

;uess Jesse will find it harder to whip

into obedicnoe and servitude some Democrats, than the slaves ho owns on tho other side of the Ohio. Some of the Democrats in this county have not a bit moro sense than to beleive they have a right to vote as they please, even if Jesse has to'. leave the Senato and devote his whole time to

negro raising and negfQ driving. It

will seem hard at first, but be will get

nscd to it. In the mean time, wc do not blame him for trying to scare the

"unfaithfnl." And, if they wont be scared otherwise, we advise that ho holds tho rod over them, just to scare

them. Jr;sh Catholics would as leif

die, us bo excommuniated from tho

church by authority, and some of them,

and some others too, would think they were clean gone, if expelled from the

Democratic party. Just threaten them with expulsion, nnd lots of them will . ff lt rr a d

Wc guess Robert Dale Owen will bo surprised when ho gets homo lo find that he is an out and out AboHtionUt unless ho has progressed, in a foreign land, as fast as his brethren have at homo. In December, 1 348 he held the following opinions: "Congress, in my opinion, possesses

the power to legislate on the subject of

slavery in tue ierritorics, throughout tho term oC their territorial existence; as, for example, to enact, in regard to our Mexican acquisitions, a prohibitory prsviso, similar to tho ordinance of 1707." Speaking of a bill organizing the

new territories of New Mexico and

California, he says:

"l would vote xor, or intrpduco a

clause, prohibiting the Territorial Legislature from passing any enactmenton tho subject ot slavery." The above could hardly be termed non-uitervention, and yet Mr. Owen was then a prominent Democratic candidate for the United States Senatorship, and the present administration has endorsed his Democracy by a foreign appointment. ' Mr. Owen went on to say; 'I need hardly add, that I would resist, by my votes and influence, any attempt, by positive legislation, to in

troduce slavery into any portion of California or Jaw Mexico, or Into any,

other territory nor free."

sco the county thusinvolved in expense

by ii legalized traffic and not snv

shall be stopped. Can any sensibl

man believe thatit would be productive

of more mischief to seize, coa'iscato

and dotrcy their murdering pison than to allow them to inflict such wrongs upon the sober, honest, industrious citizens of the county? Wo call it an attempt to murder. It is nothing less when properly viewed. These men knew Stewart's condition. They knew his late attack of delirium. They knew that even then he was boarding at the expense of the county, instead of at their expense as the democratic hi. am law pretends to pro.vide. Citizen of Indiana will you suppoit men forodic that uphold such outrages? Will you any longer attempt to "restrain and correct," such an evil? Will you not rather uproot it etircly ? No law that does not provide for seizing nnd destroying tho liquor ever did mppress it, and this has never failed. What then will be your action in thi case. The above is, of course,:t lie. Such nt least will be the answer to it by the party that courts the influence of the

liquor traffic. Let them pitch into John Wyun, Esq. He is our infor

mant n to the facts. The deductions nre our own.

PE0PHTST ny-ATTTyp In lG43wc were a near neighbor of Ion. J. D. Bright, and often heard

him express his private opinion of the

questions then before the people. We

remember hearing him converse in the presence of some half dor.cn persons.

just after one of the Van Buren elec

tors had made a speech, explaining the position of the JJuffah Convention on the slavery question, which was. that

Congress had the power and ought lo

exercise that power, to fix bounds to

slavery; that it could nnd bould pro

hibit slavery :n Teritorics while lento-

ries that the newlv acquired territo

ries should be protected by" actual legislation- most of which was incor

porated in the Democratic platform of

1849, and approved Ly the Democratic

Legislature of Indiana the same year and endorsed, as wo bave shown frebueutly by Whitcomb, Robeson, Fitch, Owen, Law and others. In this conversation, Mr. Bright said that if the party that advocated those views had

papers to defend them, in the several counties, and men to proclaim them '

in every neighborhood ft would sweep over the north liko a perfeei'tornado. . But, he added, nearly all thcpapers and nearly all public speakers are a!-,' lied to one party or the - other, and, they will not abandon tly-ir party for ' such a purpose. The time ha come when hundreds of papers uro defending those sentiments, and thousands of the ben l pMker in the u lion r proclaiming them in ever) neighbor. hood, and Mr. BrjghL is realiziog what'. he predicted. The doctrines ef those t men are sweeping over the whole north, like a tornado, and they are upsetting many a man, and many a scheme thai had appeared immovable. - Wt judge

from Mr. B right's pathetic appeals to the Democracy to be "true and faithful," that he expects to fall before the storm. Ho may as well come down-

The people of Indiana have elected a

slave holder to the senate fof the last

Just before And upon the day of elec lion, thu ni'Wi was sent all over the State in extras, dispntches and hand

bills that Congress had passed the Ijmestead Bill, and cvry squatter

and other poor man reminded that to a Democratic Congress and I'rcsid:nt they were indebted for this great boon, which would secure them homes for little ur nothing. Cool obscrveis judge that not less thun One Thousand votes were carried ovvr from Grimes to Bates on the strength of this statement and appeal. Two or thrco days after the votes had been cast, the truth transpired thajt Congress had in fact passed no Homestead till at all, but ox tue OTHER II AND THE PRESIDENT n AD VETOED THE RlVEK AND IlAaDOK BILL, IS THE rASSAOK OF WHICH IOWA WAS uncrLT interested! But the votes

were cast and counted, nnd indignation could not alter the result. Grimes was however elected by near 4,000 majority. Set this down as the voice of ne of the squatters on the slavery question.

The following Resolutions were ; adopted by the Baptist Association at its meeting hereon tho Sth of August : Whereas, Intemperance is a great moral and social, as well as political evil, and should be treated in law in ' the same manner as other' such evils;' therefore . '. Resolved, That the traffic in intoxi-f eating liquors us a beverage, should be prohibited by a stringent law, enforced by such penalties as will effectually remove the evil, and that we aa'1 christian citizens, will not sustain any man for office who is not in favor of such a law, 4 -. Whereas, African Slavery is an acknowledged great, moral evil, and Wuereas, Iu cxtcnüon willbo attended with still greater evil; therefore: Resolved, That every christian is religiously bound to Oppose the extension and perpetuity of the traffic ia human Hesh.

JtsrTho farm of Mr. O'Byrne of

Sringfield township, took lire last week in several places from burning brush, in a dry marsh. It burnt thro' the vcgctablu depositejto the depth of some two or thrco feet, and was arrested only by surrounding it by ditehes deep enough to remove the vegetable soil. Other farms in tho same neighborhood have suffered in the same way. iTThe Evansville Enquirer says that Rev. C. B. Davidson, of thatoity is in favor of the Nebraska Bill. , Can that be true?

It will be seen by the following note that Mr. Kalcr of AndcrsonvilleUimi the authorship of the inimitable '. poetry we gave la?t week' If he ever sent it to us we have .forgotten it but we presume tt ia true, How Davi j.;ot it i i a mystery we can . not solve. Certainly we had no intention of depriving Mr. Haler of tic honor, due him, aud we ask his pardon for evea appeiring to do him injustice. Wo hope he will try his hand on future, productions, and in the mean time wo will try to ferret out the theft. We received it direct from Newburn, signed by H. W. Davis. Wc trust however n o serious difficulty will grow out of this mistake. This explanation is, we hope, so satisfactory, that. Mr. Kalcr will not discontinue his paper, no; withold his poetic effusions. In futurcwo will bo more prompt.
